So I decided to redo the entire website that I work for, you can find it here: http://www.review4u.org/news.php (Please do not consider this spam) and I wanted to add alot of new features to it.

1. I would let the users post comments on the news, reviews, interviews, etc.
2. Only registered users could post comments. So obviously I would have a signup sheet. But I wanted to make it so you had to be logged in in order to post comments.
3. And lastly, so that when you sign up. You are also signed up for the forums. So you don't have to sign up twice.

So if anyone has any ideas, or say things that could point me to the right direction. That'd be great.

Thank you.

Also, I want thinking about using PunBB. If that helps.

you will need to integrate your user database into PHPBB, or make your signup script insert into the PHPBB user database as well.

I was reading PunBB's documentation. And it said that if you include two certain files, you will have access to all of the forums databases variables. So I was thinking about having a link on my main page that would lead you to the forums signup page. Then when the users click on the Add Comment link, if they are logged in the forums, it would let them post a comment. If not, it would give them an error.
